Tall Case, Grandfather & Pendulum Clock Repair
Antique pendulum clocks have a charm of their own. However, if they aren’t running, chiming or striking, then their charm can’t be appreciated. About 80% of the time, a clock isn’t running simply because it is out of adjustment, or just needs a good cleaning. Olde Crow will evaluate your clock and recommend a course of action to adjust, clean or repair your clock to get it running again.

Furniture Refinishing
Olde Crow's process of restoring the finish to antique furniture doesn't use dip tanks or sandpaper, which remove the wood's patina, glue from joints, and require staining to match the original color. Though more time is involved in Olde Crow's process, the use of refinisher and hand rubbed oil and finishes maintains original patina and glue, and breathes new life and luster into the antique.
